Design and Manufacture of Spiral Bevel and Hypoid Gears for Heavy-Duty Drive Axles

Discussion of specific procedures for the design and manufacture of spiral bevel and hypoid gears for heavy-duty axles. A more refined approach to design is being sought, and to facilitate a general understanding, certain terms need clarification.

The paper is concerned with two major areas: highway trucks and buses and a wide variety of off-highway vehicles such as trucks, scrapers, payloaders, and bulldozers.
